Business Owner

Alexander Curtis, owner of No Pins Framing and Presentation, is a photographer, illustrator, and craftsmen. Curtis graduated Cum Laude in 2014 from The Maryland Institute College of Art after concentrating in fine art photography and art history. During his undergraduate studies he apprenticed as a framing facility manager in Anne Arundel County for 4 years. From his experience studying the arts and art handling grew No Pins Framing. As a student Curtis saw that there were few available options in the Baltimore — Mount Vernon area for artist, students, and families to receive professional help with presenting their artwork. As his Senior Thesis project Curtis dedicated himself to bring his trade and skills as a framer to Baltimore’s most vivacious and arts oriented neighborhood.
